The 310 is shorter than the old 250 XFB - and also the newer 225 TSX I believe, so stability -which is based on length more than weight- should be okay. I have only shot them in my Winnie - which gets only 1900 fps or so- and I've never considered them to be more than 50 yard loads at that speed so I don't know how far they stay stabile.

I'll add this pic for those who may be interested in some of the 35 caliber's line of bullet profiles- though the Woodleighs are absent:

They are, l to r, 200 Rem SP, 200 Hornady SP, 225 GameKing, 225 BT, 225 AB, 225 PT, 250 Interlocks - RN and SP, 250 Hot-Cor, and 280 A-Frame.

Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
